Jesus asked us to follow him.

We are learning a lot of life changing information by studying the red-letter verses of the Bible. When Jesus speaks there is so much to learn about how to best communicate. Jesus says in Mark 1:17 “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” The example in how we live our lives is at least as important as what we say. When your kids, grand kids, spouse, parents, grandparents, or friends listen to you they are going to hear what you say as well as watch what you do. Jesus says, “follow me”. In other words, let’s walk, work, talk, play, cry, and believe together as we have our conversation. Everything else seems so surface or superficial by comparison. If we do this with our family and friends, it will take communication to a much deeper level.

Oh, how I wish every parent could hear this lesson this Sunday. It would change the yelling at, rules quotations, put downs, and conflicts if we could understand that we can share our lives and not just preach to someone with whom we are trying to communicate.

Join us Sunday at 10:30am for either the in-person service or online service (via You Tube, Facebook Live or the church apps) for this life changing lesson.

Your friend for the rest of my life,

Pastor Tim White
